once you get it cleaned up, use the immunize option on spybot. It stops a lot of malicious stuff. I use Firefox for most of my browsing, but some sites require IE. You have to be real vigilant in keeping spyware, trojans, virus etc at bay. I use ad aware, spybot and norton. I scan with each on a regular basis.
